Hemingway's "For Whom The Bell Tolls": War's Affect On Man And Importance Of Time
.... me.
Stand up." (Pg.462) By saying this Jordan reveals how man is never an
individual but instead is made up of all the influences, experiences, and
memories that we have shared with others.
Furthermore This change came upon Jordan as a consequence of
joining the war. Before the war had started he had no idea what it meant
to be an individual, or to truly fall in love. Jordan says to Maria "I
have never loved someone as thee. Before our cause I never new what it was
like to truly live. Or to love, as I do thee" (P160). This shows how being
in the war allowed him to understand what it really meant to be a man.

All The King's Men: Man As A Slave To Knowledge
.... to hide, a skeleton in the closet. Stark knows that everyone has
some bit of knowledge to hide, and that the knowledge makes man a slave as
he tries to hide the bit of knowledge. Stark often wields the power of
knowledge to enslave others to do his bidding. He finds the dirt on someone,

Book Report On Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov"
.... no respect for women,
for example; he is a despicable "voluptuary," and he satisfies his lust at
any cost. He drives his wife to madness by bringing "women of ill-repute"
into their house right in front of her. Even more shockingly, he rapes a
mentally retarded woman, who later dies giving birth to his illegitimate
son, Smerdyakov, who grows up as his father's servant.
Fyodor is even more blatantly disrespectful to his three legitimate
children. After his wife's death, he abandons them, for they "would have
been a hindrance to his debaucheries." He is never a true father to any
of them. When his oldest son, Dmitr .....

Faulkner's "The Unvanquished"
.... He 'let his
conscience be his guide'. Telling his father about Drusilla's attempt to
seduce him and refusing to avenge his father's death are two good examples
of this. In the beginning of the novel, Bayard is shown to be simple minded,
but as time passes on and Bayard grows into a young man, his mind develops
and he ultimately ends the battle between idealism and pragmatism in one
carefully thought out decision.
The battle between the two philosophies is very subtle in the
beginning. But it grows and strengthens, and since there can only be one
winner, the pragmatist is victorious. When Bayard's father is killed, and
Bayard de .....

The Scarlet Letter: The Symbol Of The Scarlet Letter
.... and illuminated upon her bosom." Hester chose red as the color
of her brand of shame, to declare to the rest of the townspeople that she
is prepared to acknowledge her sin, instead of denying it; she could have
chosen to wear her "A" in a plain and nondistinct color, to escape the
townspeople's disdain. By displaying her guilt however, she is granted the
opportunity to face her punishment bravely, thus through her public
humiliation, she achieves freedom from the personal guilt of not suffering
enough for her crimes. Furthermore, "the scarlet letter, forthwith seemed
to scorch into Hester's breast, as if it had been red- .....

.... In the
more classical style of writing, writers addressed their books to the upper
class, but now writers addressed the common man and his problems. Their was
a new feeling of spirituality. People were seeking eastern concepts of

Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress": The Essence Of Time
.... love. He leads
her to believe he would give all he has to her as long as time will permit.
During the second stanza, Marvell plays on her fear of getting old. He
warns her that her beauty isn't everlasting and that she will end up
unhappy alone if she doesn't give in. Marvell's use of optimum time, the
best time, show's his emotions. He appears to become aggravated. This
seems to be his ace in the hole. In my opinion, he uses what he believes
to be the dearest thing to her, the situation of right here, right now.
This entire poem can be compared to a drunks last resort, the
famous "line" used to pick up women. Marve .....
